The ambassador's words were shocked, and similar worries flashed through everyone's hearts, and suddenly the room became quiet.

They are afraid of "slander" precisely because this group of people actually has some ghosts in their hearts.

Since the restoration of Yingli Li Hui, the Han mission has been in a transcendent position in Goryeo for all these years. In such a position, the imperial court was difficult to control thousands of miles away, so the top and bottom privately reaped benefits for themselves in Goryeo.

the faint-hearted, who took money from Chinese and Korean merchants and supported them; was bold, and even asked his relatives to come to Goryeo as businessmen, and started to pursue profits. The one who forcibly occupied the field of participation in the northern part of Goryeo and carried out exclusive trade was the relative of the deputy envoy Jang Do-yan.

Because he still wanted to climb up, Ambassador Shi Gaoyi's hands and feet were much cleaner, and he did not participate in the obvious exchange of interests. However, in order to maintain relations with the officials and colleagues of the Gyeongseong court, he also needed a large amount of money, so he did not miss the matter of accepting bribes from merchants and Goryeo ministers and helping them interfere in the politics of the Goryeo court.

As a result, after a long period of infiltration, a large number of granges and farms in northern Goryeo have fallen into the hands of Han merchants, who privately recruited arms and have long since ignored the Goryeo court. Some of the original Goryeo residents became hired by these merchants and had to work for them, while others had to live in a foreign land and become homeless, which filled Goryeo with resentment.

On weekdays, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this, since Goryeo was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and they and the others were representatives of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't they be powerful and prosperous? Moreover, a lot of the money that the Goryeo mission extracts from Goryeo every year is also handed over to the Foreign Affairs Department, so the Foreign Affairs Department has turned a blind eye to their affairs for many years.

But of course, these words cannot be said to the prince.

Everyone said that the prince was benevolent, if the prince really listened to the slander and held it accountable, of course the high-ranking officials in the capital would be fine, but everyone here would be very sad.

Naturally, such worries also aroused the hatred of the same enemy throughout the mission.

"Forgive that old man and don't dare!" Meng Zhigao's face was angry, "It was the Han who sent troops and made efforts to restore that old man, if it weren't for us, that old man wouldn't have known when he would have died, and he would have dared to be ungrateful?" ”

With the efforts of Shi Gaoyi and the people in the mission, the mission has intervened in all aspects of Goryeo's political affairs, but his actions will naturally provoke a backlash from the Goryeo court, and this backlash has become more and more powerful in the past two years because of the resentment accumulated up and down Goryeo, and it has also made the mission very angry, so now when he talks about the lord Li Hui in private, he directly scolds "Lao Er" and "Lao Pifu" with a bad temper, and has no respect for his monarchy at all.

"There are too many ungrateful people in this world, so no one can afford to be unguarded......" Shi Gaoyi stroked his beard and smiled bitterly, "Although the lord of Goryeo was supported by my country, but when he got to that position, he wanted to continue to taste the sweetness of the monarch, so he couldn't tolerate me waiting, which is normal......"

"My lord, in that case, we should make some preparations as soon as possible." Deputy Envoy Zhang Daoyan was already full of solemnity, "It is indispensable to have the heart of guarding against people, this Li Hui Lao'er was a bloodthirsty and brutal monarch back then, and he may not have much gratitude to the **** for us." ”

"The deputy envoy's words are exactly what I want." Shi Gaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Now, we are indeed at an emergency point, and we have to take some precautions." ”

Seeing that the ambassador's words were so profound, the others looked at each other.

"Please show me!"

"In fact, the reason why our dynasty was able to get so many rights and interests in Goryeo was because of the great power of the Han army, which made the Goryeo people tremble; Second, it is also because I have the merit of supporting the country, and the lord of the country has to be rewarded. The ambassador slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Now that the lord of Goryeo is becoming more and more disagreeable, it seems that we have to find another way." If one support is not enough, we will ...... twice."

Twice to stand? Everyone seems to understand something.

These days, there have been abnormal people coming and going in the embassy, some of them are still members of the Li family, although they come and go sneakily, and rarely appear in front of people, but everyone has a lot of speculation in private, and now that the ambassador has said it clearly, everyone is not particularly surprised. In particular, Deputy Envoy Zhang Daoyan and several other important embassy officials were more calm because they were actual participants.

"What do you mean...... Is it to find a way to abolish Li Hui? Yingzheng Meng Zhi asked in a low voice.

Compared to the excitement just now, he was a little nervous now.

What the ambassador meant was that he was going to forcibly abolish the monarch in Goryeo, and he was not afraid of the Koreans, but mainly worried that there would be different opinions in the country.

"It's not a waste." Shi Gaoyi waved his hand calmly, "The lord of the country is old, and he is known to be blind, how much can he manage?" I'm afraid I'm already out of my power...... Moreover, he has no children under his knees, so he should find a child in the clan to inherit the ancestry, this is a matter of course, is there something wrong? ”

Don't abolish it, but find another child in the clan to serve as the adopted son of the lord of the country? Everyone finally understood the ambassador's plan, so they whispered one after another.

After discussing it for a while, they all agreed with the ambassador's idea - Li Hui was now becoming more and more difficult to control, and it was necessary to change the country to a new one; And by forcibly stuffing him with an adopted son, you can block the mouths of the people.

Li Hui was not popular in the country, and there was a great disaster back then, as long as the mission made things look better and caused a fait accompli, the Koreans could not say anything.

"Find an adopted son for him, isn't the power of the government still in his hands?" At this time, an official of the embassy asked, "Even if he is old, I don't know how long it will be until he dies...... I'm afraid I can't hurry! ”

"Don't worry about that." Deputy envoy Zhang Daoyan immediately replied, "The adopted son is young, but he still has a father." At that time, as long as we have an adopted son, we can let Li Hui recuperate in the palace - as long as he recovers, will he still need to take care of the affairs of the court? Naturally, there is an adopted son and his own father to act as the regent......"

At this time, the officials who did not participate in this plan realized that the ambassador had probably anticipated the current situation a long time ago, and after careful consideration, he might have already found a candidate for his adopted son.

It is conceivable that someone in the Goryeo clan must have negotiated with the ambassador to let the ambassador put him or his son on the throne, and then sell more rights and interests to the Han.

The power of Goryeo has now reached such a point of decline, and there are still some people in the clan staring at this throne, and many people are secretly sighing in their hearts.

"The adults are far-reaching, and the officials admire it!" The official just now had nothing to say, so he shook slightly.

"Hey, you're in a foreign country, and you're all a foreign barbarian you don't know, so you can't think about it too much!" Shi Gaoyi sighed again, and then smiled bitterly, "Originally, although I wanted to stand again, I still wanted to do it slowly, so as not to displease the court, but now, ...... I thought about it, and it was better to finish things as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

"That'...... Do you want to do it now? Meng Zhigao had the support of the ambassador's words, and his courage became stronger, and he raised his hand and made a gesture of decapitation, "There are many dreams at night, and the Goryeo people can't tell when they will be on guard, so they will simply launch it in the next few days, and lock up the Goryeo lord first!" ”

The garrison of the Han Dynasty in the capital of Goryeo was not large, with a total of more than 16,700 troops in two battalions, because there were often people who wanted to go out to inspect the islands of Goryeo or suppress civil unrest, and the number of people who could be mobilized was even smaller, only more than 1,000, and among these people, there were even fewer people who could directly take up swords and guns to go to the battlefield -- and the Goryeo court had more guards around the palace than that, and there were more soldiers stationed in Seoul.

However, Meng Zhigao didn't care about this numerical disadvantage at all, and was not afraid of resistance from the Koreans at all. This is a warrior who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he has fought against the most elite troops of Manchuria on the battlefield, and he has seen the soldiers of Goryeo after coming to Goryeo, and he has not paid attention to them at all.

"No, no, Meng Yingzheng, don't worry." To his surprise, the ambassador waved his hand again and again, rejecting his proposal, "Although this matter must be handled quickly, the more urgent it is, the more urgent it is, the less urgent it is." Our embassy here, the Koreans are all staring, if there is any action in a hurry, they will definitely be alert, although the lord of Goryeo is a blind man, but after all, he still has some brains. We have to plan and act, and get everything ready before we do it. Besides, it is impossible not to report such a big matter to the country in advance, and we still have to repair the book in the country to let the above know our calculations. ”

"Will the above agree?" Seeing the ambassador say this, one official had doubts again.

"It depends on what we say." The ambassador glanced at Zhao Yingzheng meaningfully. "We must immediately write a letter to the country, bitterly report the misdeeds of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers, tell the lord of the country about the dislike and resistance of the lord of the country, and then tell the country, because of the constraints of the lord of Goryeo, we are now waiting for the action in Goryeo to be difficult, if we let it go, I am afraid that there will be a more serious situation...... Then, along with our plan, we present it as a proposal. ”

The ambassador came out of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and he won the trust of the director Kong Zhang, so he was not worried that his opinion would be rejected by the director, and with the director next to him, the prime minister and His Majesty should not object, they don't want to see Goryeo centrifuge.
